Agree with merging. We could use tags in post titles (e.g. [Recipe], [BBQ], [Ask], etc) so we can easily pick out those that interest us, and also allow us to see if a particular subtopic is gaining more popularity.
We definitely don’t want the community to be overcome with memes and while we don’t want to disallow memes all together, we actively monitor the communities for proper content. We want these communities to be about actually discussing food/cooking and helping eachother out mostly but having fun and laughing is very much a part of enjoying food, IMO. So memes will be allowed, but if it gets out of hand, we will make sure to let everyone know and discuss where to go from there.
Justin Wilson’s Red Bean Gumbo. The trick is an ultra-dark roux. You’re gonna burn it the first few tries, so give yourself a few hours to practice. This ultra-dark roux takes almost 45 minutes to make. It should look like chocolate pudding and smell of toasted wheat if you did it correctly.
A burnt roux is only suitable for the garbage bin. Seriously, don’t try to save $0.50 of oil and flour, whatever you try to make with it will taste burnt and shitty
You get this recipe correct though, and you’ll love it. I guarantee.
If you think summer is too hot for soup, you’ve never had a good Pho or Tom Yum Goong. Perfect soup for all weather.
It’s becoming summer in the southern hemisphere, and we’re not stopping the soup. We’ll have more Gazpacho and chilled borscht but we’re still souping it up down here.
mushroom soup, Adam Ragusea made a video a while, it was amazing! Very hearthy.
I made Georgian Kharcho few times. Its a beef soup with rice and spices.
Theres one that i have an addiction for. Ita a cold beet soup called Šaltibarščiai its basically buttermilk with cucumbers and beets, but its soo refreshing. And it takes no time to prepare. I eat it during the summer
Copying my reply from the c/food community here for visibility
I am for a merge. It worked well for my communities to merge (PlayStation and PS5) and I think it will be successful here also. I chose to keep my PS5 community open, but since you are dealing with merging multiple communities it might be good to lock them with a pinned post for at least a little while.
Once the dust settles I think opening them back up (but keeping the pinned post) would be a good option to give the choice back to the community for those that eventually wish to splinter off.
I read your comment on there as well, you bring up a good point. We’re trying to grow to the best of our abilities, but leave it up to the people as to what they want to see. This is what makes us a bit hesitant so lock up any community
I left it open, and posted reminders through a roughly 1 week period. Some people don’t visit communities directly, so pinned threads get missed. This way people see it in their feeds and you can account for a few different time zones.
Homemade Pho is my jam. Trash meat/bone cuts at the grocery store for less than $3/lb or salmon heads.
Just start with oil on saute in the instant pot and bloom out coriander, cinnamon, clove, star anise, and a LOT of black pepper. Toss in chopped onion or shallot, ginger, and lemon grass, add salt. Cook until browned, turn off the heat and toss in smashed garlic cloves, allowing carryover heat to bring out the fragrance. Add about 1/2 cup of water while still hot and use a WOODEN spoon to scrape the frond off the bottom of the cooking vessel. Do not skip this step.
Add your protein (chicken skeletons or smoked turkey wings also work great), then toss in a dash of soy and a few drops of fish sauce. Go easy with the fish sauce as it’s powerful joojoo and easy to overdo. Fill up the vessel to the top fill mark with water and cook on high pressure. In theory, it should require 38 minutes, but I go for an hour and twenty. Strain out the broth and pour over cooked rice noodle and add pho stuff to it.
I think it’s a good idea to merge the smaller communities into a larger one in order to improve engagement, interest, growth etc. There just isn’t enough content per small community.
